Summary : Written for [livejournal.com profile] primeval100 Challenge 279, Winning

Lester stared at the mountain of paperwork on his desk.

He could swear it had managed to breed in the five minutes he’d been out of the room.

A pinging noise alerted him to the presence of yet another incoming email.

That would make approximately three hundred and fifty unanswered messages.

He glanced at the clock. If he stayed until midnight he might stand a chance of winning the current war of attrition being fought against Downing Street and its minions.

But he knew perfectly well that it would be a hollow victory.

His wife had already started divorce proceedings.

Terrific drabble with a terrific title.

(if I admit that I read the Margaret Campbell Barnes novel with the same title, does that really date me?)

SO SAD. At first I all giggly at thought of him battling paperwork... then that last line I haz a sad.

But that would leave him free for Becker to swoop in...

I've just started watching Primeval properly for the first time and I'm well into series 3 and loving it. This is how I can imagine Lester in his office exactly.
